Fractured-basement reservoirs are igneous or metamorphic rocks having no matrix porosity and low secondary fracture porosity of ~2–3% and generally are devoid of adequate void space to hold sufficient volume of hydrocarbons for economic production.

Fractured Reservoir Simulation
Society of Petroleum Engineers Journal, 1980Abstract This paper describes the development of a three-dimensional (3D), three-phase model for simulating the flow of water, oil, and gas in a naturally fractured reservoir. A dual porosity system is used to describe the fluids present in the fractures and matrix blocks.

T035 FRACTURED RESERVOIR MODELING Introduction 1 A fractured reservoir analysis pointed out some major problems as: fracture porosity evaluation matrix block size matrix-fracture exchange factor and the equivalent permeability evaluation. Moreover interaction between fractures at different scale is another critical aspect for production in fractured ...

Reservoir Characterization for Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2000Abstract Reservoir characterization and simulation modeling of naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) presents unique challenges that differentiate it from conventional, single porosity continuum reservoirs. Not only do the intrinsic characteristics of the fractures, as well as the matrix, have to be characterized ...

Fractured-Reservoir Modeling and Interpretation
SPE Journal, 2014SummaryFractures are common features of many well-known reservoirs. Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) consist of fractures in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks (matrix). Faults in many naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs often have high-permeability zones and are connected to numerous fractures with varying conductivities.

Fracture Porosity of Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
Proceedings of First International Oil Conference and Exhibition in Mexico, 2006Abstract The storage capacity ratio, ω, measures the flow capacitance of the secondary porosity and the interporosity flow parameter, λ, is related to the heterogeneity scale of the system. Currently, both parameters λ and ω are obtained from well test data by using the conventional semilog analysis, type-curve matching or the TDS ...

Hydraulic-Fracture Propagation in a Naturally Fractured Reservoir
SPE Production & Operations, 2010Summary We present the results of numerical modeling that quantify the physical mechanisms of mechanical activation of a natural fault because of contact with a pressurized hydraulic fracture (HF). We focus on three stages of interactions: HF approaching, contact, and subsequent infiltration of the fault.

Shale Reservoirs Multi-Fracture Fracturing Technique and Studies on Reservoirs Stresses
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Theoretical studies have shown that the generation of the hydraulic fractures reduces or even reverses the stress anisotropy near the fractures and results in increasing the complexity of fractures. A finite element model was established in which the pore pressure elements were used to simulate the behavior of porous media and the pore pressure ...

Characterising Fractured Basement Reservoirs
Fourth Naturally Fractured Reservoir Workshop, 2020Summary Following the recent discovery that the storage and flow capacity of some basement reservoirs relates to both fracture and fissure capacity, we are working towards further understanding as to how and when this paradigm shift should be applied. Our current model is based upon observations from the Rona Ridge in the UK West of Shetland.
